Exact same bellicous attitude is called Gulf of Tonkin. You would go to war because someone fired a shot across your bow in international waters? My god. Even George Jr is not that dumb.

Those with respect for the American soldier first learn what is required to go to war. None of those requirements exist. However wacko extremists did want to go to war over a silly spy plane. Because the spy plane and a Chinese fighter had a mid-air sideswipe. Amazing how little justifies a massacre of a few ten thousand troops.

Your logic says we should have invaded Israel for an intentional attack on the USS Liberty. Israel intentionally killed 34 Americans. First with airplanes. And then with Torpedo boats. Your logic: we should have bombed Israel back into the stone age.

Deja Vue Nam. Please learn the lessons.

Respect for the American soldier? Buddy, I have the upmost respect for our troops because I have fought along side them. I have picked up pieces of my bunkmate and 3 other soldiers. I have 2 awards for action during combat. I admit I am a "hawk", but never question my love for my troops and fellow soldiers. I have learned my "lessons" first hand and I am reminded of them everyday.

There is a huge difference between the Iranian Military Guard and the standard forces. They are akin to the "SS Troops" of WWII.

Then you should not be posting the 'big dic' concepts. "Big dic" thinking is the 'worse' respect for any serviceman. Wasting soldiers in fiascos (Vietnam, Mission Accomplished, Koh Tang) demonstrates contempt for soldiers. Having been a solder, then you should have learned that. But not everyone learn from history.

If you have any respect for the American soldier, then you even know Koh Tang.

US Navy routinely fires a shot across bows of any boat in the Persian Gulf that gets close. Iranians apparently did same to a drone. So you would waste American soldiers to appease your penis? Because only the US Navy is permitted to do that? That >buddy< is least respect for the American soldier.

Next time, you call an officer "sir". Is that clear?
